Wildlife Pictures, Page 2



Expert wildlife photographers stake out their quarry like a hunter and wait, sometimes for days, for the perfect shot to appear. I am not one of them. But once in a while on a trout stream the wildlife photo opportunities come to me, and when I can I have my camera ready.

This porcupine seemed to be feeding on the filamentous green algae that had accumulated around the tip of a fallen cedar sweeper on a classic piece of northwoods trout water. From the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin.

A couple Canada geese take off from the scenic but nasty, swampy, and apparently troutless headwaters of a small, beaver-ravaged stream. From Eddy Creek in Wisconsin.

A great blue heron does a flyover on a flock of young common mergansers. I wonder how many hundreds of young trout go into the creation of a great blue heron and fifteen mergansers... hmm, where's Dick Cheney when you need him? Photo by Elena Vayndorf. From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin.

This is a common sight on the large Catskill rivers in early May, a mother goose guarding her nest. They like to nest on midstream islands where anglers are prone to walk from one fishing spot to another, and they do not back down. This one was hissing at me and I didn't want to get any closer. From the West Branch of the Delaware River in New York.

I found this big snapping turtle crossing the road next to the headwaters of a tiny brook trout stream I've never fished. From Road along Twentymile Creek in Wisconsin.

In an unsuccessful search for a bear we spotted from a distance, we climbed high enough to be checked out by a curious mountain goat. From Prince William Sound in Alaska.

My dad held the canoe in place while I snapped a picture of this immature bald eagle perched in a pine over the river on an August evening. It probably caught more fish than we did. From the Namekagon River in Wisconsin.
